Explanation

Ineffective listening in a classroom is caused by attention-diverting stimuli, physical or mental fatigue and lack of incentive.

Statement 2, distracting stimuli that pull attention away, breaks the listener's focus.

Statement 3, physical or mental fatigue, lowers the capacity to attend and absorb.

Statement 4, lack of incentive, removes the motivation to listen carefully.

Contextualisation of the message actually aids understanding, so it is not a cause of failure.

Insufficient preparation names the item left outside this particular trio.

Reducing noise and raising motivation improve classroom listening.
